Get To Know Us Feature - Meet Steve Sandler

GET TO KNOW STEVE SANDLER, VICE PRESIDENT OF INTERFACING & CREATIVE PRODUCTS [line] Before we introduce you to Steve Sandler, Therm O Web’s Vice President of Interfacing, let’s play a round of “20 Questions.” Wait! We know you have important sewing and crafting to do, so let’s make that “5 Questions”: What product is the secret to crisp collars and sturdy buttonholes? What product makes totes, bags and purses more durable? What product stabilizes fabric for hand- or machine-stitching? What product determines the overall look and feel of a garment? What product is available in fusible and sew-in varieties to make every fabric project look its best? It’s interfacing! And Steve Sandler is Therm O Web’s resident interfacing expert. Steve explains interfacing selection as an art, not a science. To choose the best interfacing for a project, the designer must consider fabric type, design silhouette and desired feel. To help with these decisions, Steve created this Interfacing Usage Chart as a go-to resource. There isn’t an interfacing question Steve can’t answer — and if you were wondering what his favorite Therm O Web product is, it’s interfacing! Steve has been with Therm O Web for almost seven years. He works from his New York-area office, traveling frequently to meet with the US-based mills who manufacture our HeatnBond® and StitchnSew® interfacings, as well as with retailers all across the country who stock Therm O Web interfacings. Steve told us the thing he enjoys most about his job is this opportunity to develop great relationships with our customers. We hope you’ve enjoyed getting to know a little more about the people behind the products at Therm O Web. Watch for more “Get to Know…” features in future newsletters. We invite you to share your own favorite Therm O Web products and experiences with us on our Facebook page. We’ll see you there!
